Columbia Pike Lake WM5256-375 Green: Men's Outdoor Winter Padded Jacket
The Columbia Pike Lake WM5256-375 Green is a men's padded jacket designed for urban outdoor use and light winter adventures. It features synthetic thermal insulation, reflective Omni-Heat technology, and water-repellent protection for temperatures ranging from -5°C to +10°C.
Omni-Heat Reflective Technology for Retained Warmth
The Omni-Heat Reflective lining with a metallic dot pattern reflects body heat inwards, increasing thermal retention by 20% compared to traditional jackets. Ideal for winter hikes, urban trekking, and daily city use during autumn and winter.
Lightweight Breathable Synthetic Insulation
The evenly distributed synthetic padding ensures constant warmth without restricting movement. Unlike natural down, synthetic insulation maintains its thermal properties even in damp conditions, perfect for variable weather and light rain.
Durable Water-Repellent Outer Fabric
The outer fabric treated with a water-repellent finish repels water and light snow, protecting against moisture during urban commutes or short hikes. Abrasion-resistant for intensive daily use with backpacks and bags.
Versatile Green Outdoor Urban Design
The military green color easily pairs with technical outdoor looks and urban streetwear. Clean design with no prominent logos, ideal for those seeking functionality without compromising style. Perfect with jeans, cargo pants, trekking pants, and high-top sneakers.
Functional Pockets and Adjustable Hood
Two zippered side pockets for secure storage of a smartphone, wallet, and keys. Internal pocket for valuables. Adjustable hood with drawcord for added protection against wind and rain. Elasticated cuffs seal against heat loss.
Who It's For
- Daily urban outdoor use in temperatures from -5°C to +10°C
- Light trekking, day hikes, mountain walks
- Autumn/winter city commutes with a backpack and public transport
